I CAN’T remember exactly when I became aware of Séraphine Pick’s work, but it was probably around the turn of the new century. What I do remember is that, while I appreciated them as beautifully executed paintings, they didn’t particularly interest me as images – fantastical, surrealist images, which I’ve never been much into as a genre in any medium.

WITH AN embossed cover, uncoated paper stocks, and an immediate sense of the three dimensional nature of paper collage, A to Z is both a delightfully tactile and visual experience. Proof, if any were needed that the book is very much alive, and not in any danger of dying an electronic death.
